R+B Allstars Update
(June 2013)


The Vancouver based R+B Allstars,  after a 10 year recuperation from groove fatigue, are reforming and will performing starting mid 2013.

The group includes 10 original members and 3 new additions. Powerful vocals include Dave Steele (new), Hans Stamer, Joanie Bye, Kirsten Nash and Al Lynch. The original rhythm section of Rick Hill (drums), Russ Marsland (Gtr.) Al Davidson (keys) is joined by Billy Mendoza (bass). The original horn section of Kirsten Nash (tenor), Colin Weinmaster (trombone), Alex Michie (Tenor), John Pearson (Baritone sax), Al Lynch (trumpet) have added the smoking talents of Steve Hilliam on reeds. We are looking forward to reconnecting with all the people who proclaimed to have missed us.
